| Crown and sceptre of command | B |

| The good time serene and fair | J |
| In the bygone years when I too | B |

| When they d older colder grown | K |
| And they took away my sceptre | C |
| And upset my royal throne | K |

| Yet although a King in Exile | L |
| Without subjects to command | B |
| I am glad at heart to think I | M |
| Once was King of Babyland | B |
